The statement emphasized assistance for the victims’ families, support for an independent investigation by the Commission on Human Rights, and the right of students to engage in

Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. was firm in his rejection of calls to resume peace talks with the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front of the Philippines. “No. I object to any peace talks with the NPA,” he said. “The Filipinos are at peace. They are the ones disturbing the peace.”

Naglabas ng pahayag ang University of the Philippines Diliman University Student Council kasama ang iba pang organisasyon sa loob ng unibersidad, na nanawagan ng hustisya kaugnay ng pagkamatay ni Alyssa Alano, na kabilang sa mga naiulat na nasawi sa armadong engkwentro sa Toboso, Negros Occidental.

In a 2019 video that remains publicly accessible on YouTube, Kara Lenina Taggaoa, then chairperson of the League of Filipino Students (LFS), spoke with a clarity that left little room for interpretation. Wearing a Kabataan Partylist shirt, she said, “Proud kami na ang alumni namin ay nag-NPA”.

Into that debate stepped Kej Andrés, national chairperson of the Student Christian Movement of the Philippines.

Youth organizations in Occidental Mindoro mounted a peace rally on Monday, April 6, 2026, at the San Jose Municipal Grounds, calling for an end to terrorism and reinforcing support for community security amid recent developments involving alleged New People’s Army (NPA) activities in the province. The mobilization was led by Hands Off Our Children, in partnership with the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Provincial Federation of Occidental Mindoro and the local chapter of Kabataan

Muling nagpapakita ng kahihiyan sa pagbabaluktot ng katotohanan tungkol kay Ceeka Garzon ang mga National Democratic Mass organizations at Makabayan Bloc, (mga legal front ng CPP-NPA). Sinasabi nilang “simpleng aktibista” lang daw siya — minsan teacher, minsan artist, minsan IP rights advocate. Pero walang ni isa sa kanila ang makasagot: bakit siya naroroon sa encounter site na may baril at mga notebook na puno ng NPA ED (educational discussion) Pointers? Hindi na nagt

This Holy Week, while Christians reflect on Christ’s suffering, arrest, torture, and crucifixion at the hands of unjust authorities, a different kind of blasphemy is unfolding. Self-proclaimed “Christian” youth groups and known communist front organizations are dragging Jesus Christ into their propaganda machine to defend Charlize “Ceeka” Garzon, who was arrested on March 29, 2026 in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, and identified by authorities as being a member of the New Peop

Charlize “Ceeka” Garzon, known as “Ka Kaye” inside the movement, was captured by government forces on March 29, 2026, during an armed encounter in Sitio Salafay, Barangay Monteclaro, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. She is a magna cum laude graduate of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, where she earned a degree in Arts Management. From the perspective of someone who was once part of the revolutionary movement, Garzon is a victim—but it would be simplistic to claim that it i

Malaking diskurso ngayon sa social media ang usapin ng pagkakahuli kay Charlize Garzon sa Occidental Mindoro. Ngunit kung susuriin ang bilis at pagkakapare-pareho ng mga pahayag mula sa Karapatan, Anakbayan, at Panday Sining, lumilitaw na ito ay isang operasyon upang pagtakpan ang pagkakaugnay ni Garzon sa New People’s Army (NPA).

Idinagdag niya na nakababahala na ang mga grupong tulad ng KARAPATAN ang mabilis na naglabas mismo ng litrato at impormasyon ni Garzon para sa propaganda, habang ang militar ay nagpigil upang igalang ang batas at humanitarian principles.

Noong ika-29 ng Marso 2026 — eksaktong sa panahon ng anibersaryo ng New People’s Army (NPA) — nagkaroon ng matinding engkwentro sa Sitio Salafay, Barangay Monteclaro, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. Ayon sa opisyal na pahayag ng 203rd Infantry (Bantay Kapayapaan) Brigade at 68th Infantry (Kaagapay) Battalion, nakasagupa ng mga tropa ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) ang humigit-kumulang 15 armadong miyembro ng New People’s Army. Nagtagal ang firefight ng halos 20 minuto

BACOLOD CITY, Philippines — The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) in Negros Island has issued a strong condemnation against the New People’s Army (NPA) for the killing of a 74-year-old civilian woman in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental, describing the act as a “blatant violation of the fundamental right to life.” In a statement released on March 27, 2026, the CHR identified the victim as Leonora “Nora” Anguit, who was shot dead on February 3, 2026 inside her residence i

BKFI, a national federation of around 55,000 former rebels and people’s organizations, said the anniversary should serve as a reminder of decades of violence, loss, and stalled development in the countryside rather than a celebration of “revolutionary victories.” “Fifty-seven years of the CPP-NPA-NDFP armed struggle has proven to be a vicious cycle of violence that only harmed communities,” the group stated on March 26, 2026. “We speak from experience as former believers i

Student journalists from the publication of the University of Mindanao, The Primum, reportedly stepped down from their editorial posts after the university administration imposed restrictions on their coverage. The directives allegedly instructed the student publication to avoid politically inclined content and limit reporting strictly to university-related activities. The situation further escalated when the publication’s official social media page was reportedly deleted, ra

Sa mga viral videos na kumakalat sa Facebook, Instagram, at iba pang social media platforms, makikita ang ilang kabataang aktibista na sumisigaw nang malakas sa harap ng pulis.

Leftsplaining—it's a rhetorical style, perfected over five decades of social practice, that tries to explain away accusations involving communist insurgency networks through narrative reframing rather than direct engagement with the underlying evidence.

Nasuspinde ang isang lider ng national democratic organization at isa sa mga kinatawan ng student council sa University of the Philippines matapos umano itong masangkot sa isang seryosong kasong kriminal na panggagahasa sa kapwa estudyante. Noong Marso 4, 2026, naglabas ng Notice to the Public ang University of the Philippines University Student Council kaugnay ng preventive suspension ng College of Arts and Letters Student Council Representative na si Jobert Pillas. A

Sa entabladong minsang tila napakalayo sa kanyang realidad, nakahanda ngayong umakyat si Erick Simogan, o mas kilala bilang Mimi — hindi bilang mandirigma sa kabundukan, kundi bilang isang magtatapos ng Senior High School sa Rizal.

In Talaingod, Davao del Norte, 92 former rebels from dismantled Guerrilla Fronts and Pulang Bagani Commands under the Southern Mindanao Regional Committee formally returned to the fold of the law on January 27.
